For example, one episode addresses the illogical risks the command staff take in going on almost every away mission. On other hilarious occasions, you witness what really happens when a space vessel is pushed beyond its physical limits.

Even the show's terrific cinematography is, in part, a send-up of one of J.J. Abrams' widely ridiculed directorial affectations.

However, the lynchpin that makes the humor work is the performance of Mr. Warpenburg as Pilot Yasaki.

His rational objections to the absurdities around him make for humorous contrasts - and serves to drive home the satire.

Without his straight-man reactions, most of the comedy would fall into unfunny, over-the-top camp.

A Skilled Crew

On the production side, the show features striking sets, costumes, and visual effects (especially the virtual computer screens and controls).

What makes the production value all the more impressive is the entire first season was produced on less than a shoe-string budget.

The eye-popping results serve as a testament to the exceptional skills and talents of all involved.
